1977 Buick Electra Limited review from North America

The car was 9 years old when I got it and has low miles. But the car was parked outdoors on the Jersey shore and the paint suffered the entire car had to be re-painted. Amazingly the Vinyl roof was in perfect shape A year into my ownership the Transmission had to be replaced, But this due to a chunk of metal hitting the filter pan while moving at 60 Miles per hour.

This was the first of the "down-sized" GM "C" bodies. On the out side, that is. I noticed almost no loss of room on the interior. The Limited was above the standard Electra 225 and below the Park Avenue (Then an Electra sub-model.) It was the most luxurious car I have had. The styling was timeless and the performance was remarkable for a car this size. You should note that this chassis is a direct decendant of the 1973-1977 "A" cars so they had proven hardware from the word go. That can't be said for many first year models The Re- introduced Roadmaster (1992-1996) was on the frame, but lacked the nearly overwhelming luxury of the originals.
